Fracking is worsening the drought, contaminating water (Community Voices) « Oakland Local

Lately, every time I take a sip of water from my faucet I can’t help but wonder, when will this be contaminated? When will this run out? California’s drought is worsening, and as expansion of hydraulic fracturing (aka fracking) builds across the state, I can’t help but ponder these questions.

Surely you’ve heard the buzz around fracking. It’s sweeping the nation from Pennsylvania to Texas to Oklahoma and Colorado.
